COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
A dark brown ale deriving maltiness from two types of American crystal malts, yet not overly heavy in body. Rounded with a nutty flavor from chocolate malt and a hint of black patent malt. Finished with aromatics from Czech Saaz hops.

Pours to a dark brown cola body with a tall foamy light beige head. Nice lacing. The aroma is nutty and dry with peanuts and dry roasted walnuts. Shea butter. The flavor is nutty with peanuts and dry brown ale malts. The palate is very dry with a light metallic tartness.

brown pour huge frothy off white head thick lacing and vizable carbonation. Surprisingly a light hop aroma existed w/ lots of dark grains and light carmels. Avg palate. Flavor is heavily grainy, light carmels, a touch of lightly bitter coccoa. Decent little brown.

CaptainCougar (6749) - Boz Scaggsville, Maryland, USA - JUL 1, 2007
Pours a barely transparent dark mahogany, with a huge, overcarbonated, airy, clingy light tan head. Aroma of earthy sweet dark caramel and chocolate malts with a hint of tartness. Body starts lightly caramely sweet with a nutty flavor along with some mild acidity toward a milk chocolatey finish. My guess is that this is in the first stages of an infection, but would otherwise be a pretty good brown ale.

An average color of brown with decent sized foam that didnt awe me at all. Aroma is mild and boring with no real scent grabbers. The flavor however shocked me like a static electricity charge with how sour and tart this brown ale was. It took many sips to get used to it.

Bottle: Dark brown, huge ruby hues, moderate off-white head, frothy, sparce lacing.   Soft roasted malts, slight caramel, a little appleskin and charred wood too.   First thing noticed is a somewhat thin mouthfeel.   Body is moderate, yielding some pale roasted malts, charred wood, very slight coffee bean, with lingering appleskin.   Not a big Brown Ale   Smells stronger than it tastes.   Decent, but still somewhat average.

jason (1670) - Easton, Pennsylvania, USA - MAR 2, 2007
Bottle thanks to Cbkschubert. Poured a hugh gushing cola head. Settled down a bit but leftt a nice lacing on the glass. Aroma is malt, brown sugar, and a light coating of hops. Flavor is bitter but balanced and smooth with a nice sweet roasted malt overtones. This had a sweet sugary taste at first that reminded me of a coke but in a soft carbonation way.Pretty good Brown Ale.
